We are thinking of getting 3 day tix. and going this October(flexible days between the 11-14th). We will not be able to stay on-site to take advantage of express pass as we are already renting a pool home with my in-laws.
We have never been there before(well I was there in 1992 for my senior trip-lol) and our kids will be 12, 9 and 4 when we go.

Will we be able to do WWOHP and everything else in 3 days without the express passes and without acting like crazy luntics rushing from thing to thing?:confused3

If not then we may need to wait til 2012 to go and be able to afford staying for 1-2 nights on property.

You should have no problems doing everything in both parks in three days...especially in October. It's not a traditionally busy time. However...Halloween Horror Nights will be staged at the Studios on 10/13 & 10/14 so the park will close at 5pm. IOA is unaffected by HHN so it's business as usual there. You might want to go to the Studios on 10/11 & 10/12 since they stay open until 6pm on those nights.
 
Thanks for your help!!!
I assume the 1st thing we should do 1st thing in the morning is WWOHP's FJ? I do realize other guests will be there an hour before us though. Wondering how long of a wait it will be?? We are so used to FP's at WDW that it might be hard for my kids to wait longer than 20 minutes to go on a ride-lol!

Also I'm wondering if there will be enough there to entertain my 4 y.o. ds. I guess I had better look into height requirements and such before we decide if we def. want to go this Oct. or next year. I'm assuming many of the rides offer child swap if they are too short? My ds is almost 40" now and hopefully her will grow another inch or 2 by then!
